Wason Pond Phase 2 Reopening Plan

The Wason Pond Conservation and Recreation Commission continues to follow the state’s guidance set forth for State Parks (including Outdoor Attractions and Amateur and Youth Sports).

Effective Friday, June 19, 2020, Phase 2 Reopening Plan will begin for Wason Pond Conservation and Recreation Area.

BEACH area will be limited to capacity of up to 50 people in order to maintain physical distancing.

FIELDS will be open for individual recreational use. Any organized play or event must be reserved through the Recreation Department.

PARKING will be limited to the lots by the field and the Community Center in addition to the handicap parking by the beach entrance. Parking is closed at the playground lot.

PLAYGROUND remains closed during Phase 2. 

Picnic tables, park benches, and other park amenities are not regularly cleaned or sanitized.  There are no public restrooms and/or hand washing stations. Visitors are encouraged to be prepared to bring their own hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol for use.  Please continue to follow all rules and regulations for Wason Pond Conservation and Recreation Area.

Parks, trails, and open spaces can provide opportunities for physical activity while also providing opportunities for respite, health, and wellness. People are encouraged to use parks, trails, and open spaces safely while following current guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19 including CDC guidance for Face Coverings, Hygiene and Staying Home if symptomatic.

As you make plans to get outdoors remember Be Safe, Be Well, and Be Local so that we can keep our park open. The availability of facilities to remain open will be determined by whether everyone is following all of the precautions.
